Long-Term Drainage Solutions

Keep Your Home Dry with Trusted Drainage Experts

Standing water, soggy lawns, and wet basements aren’t just annoying — they can cause serious damage to your home and property. Since 2008, Fawcett Excavating & Landscaping has been fixing drainage problems across Dartmouth and surrounding areas. From simple grading corrections to full trench systems, we install long-term drainage solutions that actually work.

Common Signs

Drainage Problems

Poor grading leads to more than just puddles—it can cause:

  • Puddles or pooling water in your yard after rain

  • Wet or mushy areas in your lawn that won’t dry

  • Water leaking into your basement or crawlspace

  • Foundation cracks or soil erosion around your home

  • Mildew, moss, or mold near patios or walkways

  • Water running toward (instead of away from) your home

Poor grading might seem like a minor landscaping issue, but its effects can be widespread and costly. Beyond just surface water, it threatens your home’s structural integrity, indoor air quality, and overall landscape health. Addressing drainage problems early can help prevent long-term damage and expensive repairs.
